Ugh, I’m with you OP! Not only do I have the congestion and runny nose but the build up of mucus (🤢 in the back of my throat which I choke on when sleeping. Pure misery! I’m hoping I can take the Musinex or something to help loosen all of his crap in my throat. I just might have to settle for Tylenol like a pp said.

I have a horrible cold- I am so congested! I tried for a while to stick it out but finally gave in last night. My doctor told me I could take regular sudafed and omg...what a lifesaver!! I can breathe again :-)!

Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe saved my life and allowed me to breathe at night when I had a cold. I called my doctor to make sure it was okay, and she said it was fine.

My ob told me to get this yesterday as now I ended up sick (37w4d) just stuffy nose and an annoying clearing throat thing. SO (significant other) go to Walgreens and find it and my hubby has to double check with pharmacist if I can take it and he says well u can but one ingredient will constipate you and another will cause high blood pressure! Grrrr, I wanted to still get it but my hubby wouldn't let me, so plain Tylenol it is and cough drops!! Went to another Walgreens and pharmacists husband was an ob and now a pediatrician and he said I can take musinex! So hard it's like everyone I asked told me something different and since I haven't got worse I'll stick to Tylenol for now! If I end up with a wicked couch I'll be heading for cold and flu meds cause ob said coughing can cause contractions!

Your 3-month-old: Week 2

Babies simply love to be touched. In fact, they thrive on it - touch is a critical part of growth and development. All that skin-to-skin contact not only helps you and your baby bond, but it's comforting when she's upset and soothing when she's irritable.
